Turns out remembering to write a blog post everyday is harder than I thought. Especially when the one year old decides to boycott sleep and insist on being attached to you all day and night. What is it about 3 AM that makes a baby think it's party time? There isn't enough caffeine in the world right now.
As if the teething/developmental growth spurt/just trying to drive mom mad phase with the baby isn't hard enough, we also have the on the verge of puberty angst with the oldest. H has decided he needs to argue with me over EVERYTHING. I get where he's at, trying to grow up and gain independence, I remember going through it, but it's hard on the mom side too. I'm still considering adding one more to our family, am I crazy? Going through this with 3 more kids, my hair will be completely white by the end.
I've also realized how much I've taken getting a shower in for granted. When A was born J was laid off from work so he could snuggle her while I showered. Once summer came and he was working again the big kids were home to watch her for 10 min. Now, it's just the two of us all day and I'm lucky to shower twice a week. Those two showers are shared with A who is, of course, into everything now. There is no such thing as a relaxing shower right now.
I've also decided to take on a million crochet projects and am currently working on a Super Mario Bros. blanket for H, featuring Luigi of course. 252 granny squares to crochet and sew together...I'm hoping it's finished before Christmas. I found a pattern for some dishcloths for the kitchen, because we are sadly lacking in dishcloths and I hate buying them. There are a million patterns for baby everything too and I fear A will be too big before I get the chance to make most of them.
Well, time to do some homemaker duties and we'll see if I can keep up a little better with this blog than I have so far.
